Errors of Level Sensors of a Fueling Level Control System of an Upper-Stage Rocket

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

A technique of calculating the error of liquid oxygen level-to-capacitance conversion of the level sensor unit of an upper-stage rocket is considered and the results of studies of the precision characteristics presented. It is shown that the errors of the main and backup channels of such rockets do not exceed the required value.
